fact that he was elected Cook County
Clerk in the last racrfU6ncd year he
would still be homing down a high
position with that firm.
Mr Sweitzcr is extremely .popular

understands in his quiet and soft
manner how to draw men or friends
to him and not to drive them away

office always swing both way,s, and
they stand wide open during business
hours and the humblest citizens, both
p.t-,-v nnil Wfiitei experience no
trouble in approaching him in order
tn state or transact their business
with him.
There is one thing which can be
said to the everlasting credit of Mr.
Swcitzer,, namely, that he is absolute
ly free from race prejudice and in
October, 1914, he made the speech of
his life at the laying of the corner
stone of the New Eighth Regiment
Armory, where he freely mingled with
the Colored people. Shortly atter
that event he presented Col. Franklin
A. Denison with a fine and very ex
pensive mahogany writing desk which
still remains in the rooms of the
Eighth Regiment Armor".
There is not the slightest question
about the re-election of Mr. Sweitzcr
for clerk of Cook county.
